Editor’s Pick(Test): England - South Africa Test IV

This is the fourth test match of this series. The last one. England lead the series two to one. If England win, they walk away with the cup. On the other hand, if South Africa win, the tournament is a draw. England’s captain, Root has done a formidable job in leading the team so far. They have waited for almost two decades for a home series victory. Even a draw will mean that England win the tournament. They need to play smart cricket to end the drought.

South Africa on the other hand will not back down either. They displayed a dismal performance at the Champions Trophy early this year. South Africa will give it their all.

Let’s take a look at my possible lineup

Batsmen

Joe Root

Alastair Cook

Hashim Amla

Tema Bavuma

Dean Elgar

Bowlers

Morne Morkel

Keshav Maharaj

Toby Roland

Stuart Broad

Alternate lineup

Dean Elgar

The table is currently in a very surprising
situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they
are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match
is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh
is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this
point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give
everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will
strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the
cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in
their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because
another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new
players will see the light today. A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar
Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

The tournament is halfway
through. There have been some brilliant performances and some worth forgetting.
The T20 fever has gripped the country with intensity. Come evening, and cricket
fans sit in front of the television, with the phone in their hands. This is to
follow not just the men on the fields but also their very own fantasy team that
they have created on the Fantain App.
Let’s have a look at how the eight teams have played so far.
